Our life is a combination of good and bad memories. Sometimes, these bad memories affect our lives intensively; not only they influence negatively over our spiritual mood, but also it will affect our communications in life; in other words, we humans submitted to these memories. How can we get rid of those bad memories?

Scientific researches show that sorrow is the most lasting emotion exists in human’s body. According to this emotion, sorrow remains in the human’s body for 120 hours. This means a human is involved with sorrow for 5 days; whereas sense of happiness just lasts for 36 hours. Therefore, if we have some bad memories which bother us, we should remove them more quickly or minimize its effects.

To get rid of our bad memories, first we should investigate that why an event happened in the past and how it can annoy us; then, how we can eliminate the negative feelings arose from these memories.

Why do bad memories bother us?

Memories always exist in our mind. They can be both good and bad. Even if we don’t remember the memories, they exist in our minds and sometimes they reappear from the depth of our minds by hearing a word, seeing a scene or being in a special situation. This will cause the memories involve the minds.

What makes us get annoyed of remembering a memory is that we imagine ourselves in the situation we were remembering. In other words, not only we saw the images related to that memory in our mind, but also we imagine the sounds and images of that memory. This means we experience a memory of childhood time in another way in 40 years old. This will happen just by our imagery.

In fact, the factor causes to get annoyed of remembering a memory is its repetition in the mind. This repetition is a factor which causes the occurred events with the all details of the first time recurs for us. NLP solution to get rid of bad memories is the same property of mind in remembering bad memories.

How does NLP help us to eliminate the bad memories?

The science of Neuro -linguistic programming or NLP teaches us a method through which we change the feeling caused by bad memories. As such that after implementing the related technique, every time the relevant memory reaches the surface of your mind, we do not experience the bad feeling once we had in the past. To use this technique, first take a deep breath and then remember a memory, as such that you now experience the feeling you previously had in the memory.

When you remember a memory, you have some feelings and your mind finds a fresh feeling and what has formed from a memory has three components namely sound, sense and image and the combination of these three components is called mental image. Each component of mental image has a distinguishing feature. For example, the images you see from a memory may be so clear or unclear for you or it may be black and white.

These distinguishing features in NLP are called sub-modality. Each component of the mental image has its own special sub-modalities. If you are not familiar with sub-modalities, it is recommended to use the link below to study and get familiar with sub-modalities and you are required to be familiar enough with sub-modalities to get rid of bad memories.

What NLP does with our bad memories is that it uses sub-modalities in the first step and change our feelings towards that event.

First step: Changing the feeling existing in bad memories with the help of sub-modalities

By using sub-modalities, NLP first changes our feelings towards that event. To change the bad feeling you had of a bad memory, first you should remember the memory and it should be as such that you feel it completely. Hence, you can go to a quiet place and set your body in a situation feeling comfort. Then, close your eyes and think of that memory.

Now pay attention to the distinguishing features namely images, sounds and feeling existing in that memory or the sub-modalities of that memory. Then, investigate the sensory, auditory and visual sub-modalities existing in that memory. Now, you should change the sub-modalities. For instance, if you see a colorful image, make it black and white. If the image is clear, make it unclear.

Therefore, you can change all sub-modalities of that memory via NLP. This will help you change your feeling towards the memory. Since sub-modalities are the constituting parts of our feelings and when we are able to change them, our feelings change, too. Now, it’s time to take the next step to remove the bad memories.

Second step: Making the bad memories funny

After you changes the sub-modalities related to a bad memory, you should do something to make that memory ridiculous. Remain in the mood you changes the sub-modalities. Now that you evoke the bad memories in your mind, you enter some happenings into your memory which are funny and ridiculous.

For instance, imagine a standup comedian who suddenly enters into the images related to our memories and starts to perform a funny topic. Pay attention that this event should be something which is really ridiculous for you. This means you should laugh by seeing those scenes in your mind. For example, you can enter some parts of a comedy serial into your memory. You can see two characters in your relatives instead of the characters in the film. This may make the occurrence more ridiculous.

After performing this technique, what happens to you is that whenever you remember that memory, you laugh. This means that the bad feeling you got by remembering bad memories are totally removed from your mind and it will be replaced by laugh. I hope the event you chose to ridicule the bad memories be so funny that you laugh your head off.

Sometimes, we have to repeat something again and again to learn it. Doing something over and over wastes takes lots of energy of us and wastes a lot of time. By training some methods for quick learning via NLP, we can achieve skill in different works without spending lots of time and energy. In order to learn this fast learning method, we should get familiar with some of the brain’s properties.

The effect of knowing the brain’s properties in quick learning

Definitely, learning is an issue which is related to human’s brain. So, it is better to know that the right hemisphere has a significant effect on learning. You ask why? You can notice the effect of right hemisphere on learning via a very short and practical test. To do this test, pay attention to these words: Blue Elephant!

By reading these words, what was imprinted in your mind? Probably the image of a blue elephant or at least an elephant. The reason is that the language of mind is visual. It means the image of everything you hear or see is imprinted in your mind. And when you want to remember something, these images help you. So, using images to communicate with mind is much better and easier than other ways.

reading these words

How can we reinforce the right hemisphere for quick learning?

If you are familiar with the duties of each hemispheres of the brain, you know that controlling the right hemisphere of the body is up to right hemisphere and vice versa. This means that left-handed people has a more active right hemisphere. Thus, to reinforce the right hemisphere of your brain, you should use your left hand to do some tasks which you always do with your right hand.

As we stated, the images are related to the right hemisphere. You can use this property. Do some tasks related to images or causes some images be imprinted in your mind. As a suggestion, you can try dart game.

Except reinforcing the right hemisphere of the brain, you can do some other tasks to help quick learning. One of these tasks is to connect the stages of doing a task.

Connecting the stages of doing a task together for fast learning

The sequence of doing tasks plays an important role in fast learning. Many times, we know the steps of doing one thing, but when we want to do it, we confuse these steps or we need to spend time and energy to remember the next step.

Again, we return to the effect of images on learning. Use the images to connect the steps of a task together. It means that you have to see the steps of doing a task pictorially in your mind and connect them together. It is better to make the images unreal.

Up to here, we understood that we can help our fast learning by reinforcing the right hemisphere. If we want to do the steps of a task consecutively and quickly, we can connect the steps pictorially in our minds. But it is not finished. Certainly, you saw some people who do very difficult tasks as if it is very simple. These people are so called “they are master in doing that work”.

How can we become expert in doing different tasks via fast learning?

How can we get expert in doing a task? What do we mean by “getting expert”? When a martial sport can defend himself with a very fast reaction, it means he is professional in that work. You may have heard Michael Schumacher, the greatest formula 1 driver in the world, can put the brakes on a very second. How can one achieve such a level of skill?

In NLP, learning and consciousness is divided into 4 levels. When you learn to do something just now, you are in third level. In other words, you are doing it consciously. In third level of consciousness and learning, doing that task is under the control of your conscious. When you do something consciously, you need to think first to do it and this takes your time and energy. Therefore, if you like to do different tasks skillfully and quickly, you need to do it unconsciously and under the control of your unconscious part. When you do something unconsciously, you are in the third level of NLP learning and consciousness.

How can we achieve the fourth level of learning to do something?

First we should observe how the expert people or those with fourth level of learning and unconsciousness were able to do that task. This will usually happen by repeating over and over. In fact, practice is a factor help someone to reach the highest level of a skill.

But our discussion here is quick learning. We are not going to spend so much time for every task. If we can achieve this level of ability by practice, then fast learning is not used. Again, we use NLP. NLP tells us that our mind uses a special neural path to do every work.

When we repeat a task again and again, this neural path is constantly used; thus, the method to do that task is known for the brain and that neural brain is changed into a mental trench in our mind. We can create this mental trench in our mind without repetitive practice.

How can we make a metal trench in our mind to do tasks?

For fast learning and making a mental trench to do a special task, you can perform as following: first, do that task one time and correctly. Next, see yourself from 0 to 100 (from beginning to the end) while doing every step of that work. Repeat this mental process for several times. In fact, this is a mental practice to achieve the skill of doing different things.

When you imagine yourself while doing a task, you are repeating the images related to that work in your mind. This is exactly like you did it over and over. But this mental practice takes less time and energy compared to doing that work for several times. This exercise can help you in fast learning.

Anger, regret, sadness and stress are the feelings that can control our behavior and thoughts. So our ability to change our feelings can help us achieve success and have a better and peaceful life.

Most of the people do not know their inner feelings in different times. The explanations in the previous article help these people understand their inner feelings.

After identifying our inner feelings, we need to know some ways to change our feelings to control our behaviors and thoughts. NLP not only introduces us some ways to identify our inner feelings, but also introduces the techniques for changing emotions. Here are three techniques in NLP for changing emotions.

The first technique for changing feelings and emotions: change physical conditions

We can identify the person’s inner feelings according to their physical condition. And because our mind and body are in direct connection with each other, every changes in mind can be seen in the body. You cannot find someone sitting in a corner wrapping his arms around his knees when he/she is happy.

As mental changes can be seen in the body, physical changes also affect the mind and emotional conditions. If you are interested in exercising, you will confirm that you always feel good after exercising. So you can use this feature, we mean the mind and body connection, to change the feelings and emotions.

You can change your physical condition to change your feelings. For example, if you are upset, start moving. Do aerobic exercises. Of course by doing this, you can experience the emotional changes very soon. But sometimes we cannot use this technique everywhere. So we introduce the other NLP techniques for changing the emotions and feelings.

The second technique for changing feelings and emotions: anchoring

Anchoring is one of the NLP techniques that can quickly change your feelings and emotions. You can change your feelings by using this technique in 2 or 3 seconds. The anchoring technique is also known as conditionalization.

When you learn this technique, you can have a desirable feeling by pushing a part of the body. This way you can quickly replace negative feelings like stress and anger with a positive one. It is better for you to choose a joint for anchoring, such as your finger or elbow joint. The place you choose for anchoring should not be very accessible so the anchoring will work correctly.

The third technique for changing feelings and emotions: changing sub-modalities

In the previous article, we explained that by extracting and identifying sub-modalities, we can identify our emotions and feelings. Sub-modalities are components of the mental image that make our feeling. So by extracting the emotional sub-modalities we have, we can change that feeling.

How to use sub-modalities for changing the feelings and emotions?

For example, if the sound of your mental image is distant and clear, you can make the sound near and vague. If the feeling in your mental image is cold, you can warm it up. This way you can succeed in changing emotions and feelings.

The other way is to see where that feeling is in your body. For example, you may have the sad feeling more in your heart. Or feel pity in your stomach and around the navel. Or, for example, you may feel this inside or outside your body.

You can visualize and change the characteristics of this feeling to change your feelings. For example, if this feeling is inside your body, move it out of your body by visualizing it. Change where you feel. If you can visualize a color for this feeling, change that color.

By this way you can quickly experience emotional changes with NLP techniques. I hope that if you are involved in emotions that negatively affect your life, thoughts and behavior, you can use NLP techniques of changing your feelings and emotions for changing that negative feeling within yourself and bring yourself the sweetness and beauty of life again.

If you are involved with negative feelings like anger, concern, anxiety, stress, depression and …, and you want to take apart from these emotions, the anchor enchainment technique as one of the powerful NLP techniques can help you. So, follow us to […]

If you are involved with negative feelings like anger, concern, anxiety, stress, depression and …, and you want to take apart from these emotions, the anchor enchainment technique as one of the powerful NLP techniques can help you. So, follow us to get familiar with the powerful technique of anchor enchainment.

What do we mean by anchoring in NLP?

Anchor means grapnel. In Persian, anchoring is named as conditioning, too. Anchoring is one of NLP techniques (Verbal-Neural programming) through which you can change your emotions quickly. For example, if you are stressful due to a test or entrance exam, you can use this technique, changing your stressful situation into a good feeling situation very fast.

Why do we need the technique of anchor enchainment besides anchoring technique?

As we stated, anchoring technique could contribute to replace a negative feeling by a positive feeling. But sometimes, it is not suddenly possible to pass from an undesirable mode into a desirable mode.

For example, suppose a desperate person. It may be impossible to alter his hopelessness mode into a situation full of motivation suddenly and in one stage. In these cases, the technique of anchor enchainment is practical.

How does the technique of anchor enchainment work?

The technique of chaining anchors is similar to going up the stairs. If we assume the first stair as an undesirable mode or a negative feeling (like hopelessness), the last stair is the desirable mode or a positive feeling (like having motivation). The middle stairs are different anchors connected to each other.

The important point we should refer here is that the anchors we use as middle stairs should overlap each other. This means we should choose the situations with common properties as the middle stairs. And of course, the next situation compared to last situation should get closer to desirable situation.

For instance, if a person has a negative feeling like frustration and he wants to create suddenly motivation in himself, he may get into some troubles including tension, anxiety, stress or conflict. Thus, the technique of chaining anchors directs the person to move into a situation which overlaps the despair situation, like bewilderment.

We continue this process until we reach a stage that is the boundary of positive and negative situation. In this status, the intended person is in a situation with a little negative feeling. This status is known a sensitive status. Because in this condition, we should transfer the person with a little negative feeling into a status makes him feel a bit positive.

For instance, the person can transfer from the status of bewilderment into a status of curiosity sense by using the anchor enchainment technique. The sense of curiosity is a situation in which the person directed from a little negative feeling into a little positive feeling. Now, it is easy to use the technique of anchor enchainment and guide a person from the step of a bit positive feeling (curiosity) into a very positive feeling (motivation).

Is the technique of anchor enchainment just practical in replacing the negative sense by the positive sense?

As we explained above, the anchor enchainment technique is usable in replacing a negative sense by a positive sense. But this is not the only applicability of this powerful technique. In fact, if you pay attention to the explanations above, you find out that using this technique can chain/connect the different spiritual modes and emotions which overlap each other.

One of usages of this technique is for a status in which you need to be in different spiritual situations for different reasons. For example, suppose that you have to present an important issue. To start you need peace; after a specified time, you need to have concentration and you need excitement to proceed.

Anchor enchainment technique could help you in these situations. By this technique, you can make an anchor to create the first spiritual status (like peace) in yourself, and chain the next spiritual situation into the first spiritual status and proceed this chain to the intended spiritual situations.

Therefore, when you call the anchor belonged to the first spiritual status, the first spiritual status is created in you and the next spiritual situations are formed in you as they are chained.

Creating these spiritual statuses can possess timing. For example, concentrate 1 minute after finding peace and 3 minutes after finding concentration, reach the excitement spiritual status. However, NLP masters are well familiar with these techniques in Iran and they train them.

An important point about the technique of chaining anchors

This technique is used to pass through a negative spiritual status into a positive spiritual status. But it is so necessary to pay attention that human is a complex creature. This complexity may cause this technique not be always applicable.

For instance, assume a condition in which a person has an internal reason and motivation for his despair; a reason that he himself may not be consciously aware of it. This means this motivation is in his unconscious. For example, a case in which the person’s internal motivation of despair is to attract others’ attention and he himself is not aware of this motivation.

In this situation, even if we use the technique of anchor enchainment again and again, the person returns back to the frustration mode very quickly, because there is an internal reason for his despair. In such a situation, this technique helps the person to reach a desirable situation temporarily but he again comes back to frustration mode.

In these conditions, the internal motivation of a person should be first discovered; then, we can work on them to reach a desirable situation. Of course, in NLP, there are some techniques to extract the internal motivation.
